I have a Labs kernel still running in a Parallels VM I created in 2010.  But I have been unable to install a new Plan9 in any 2011 or later version of Parallels (including the 9front or the many 9atom variants).  This is why it is important to document the explicit versions of the host OS, the VM software, and the 9 kernel, of *working* configurations.
